Blonde-Squad
So you want to be part of the blonde-squad, then follow the essential rules for new blondes. Well, going from a dark base to a light one is not an easy thing. In many cases, several sessions are required at the hairdresser and learning a whole new haircare regime. Hair treated with so many chemicals and is too light requires special attention, in other words, more nutrition. It adds to the routine, products such as TRESemmé’s Platinum Shielding Treatment Mask, an intensive mask with low pH that provides extra protection and deep repair.
If you are determined to take on the bleaching adventure, there are things you need to know first. But don’t be discouraged, anything is possible! We say that if you’re going to do it, do it right. We tell you the yes and no of the new blonde hair so you can take your hair to the next level.
Having patience is key
As we already said, depending on your base color, reaching a blonde-squad can take more or less. Although it is possible to make all the changes in a single session, it is not advisable because the damage that your hair will suffer in the process is a lot. So you have to be patient. Go down a couple of tones. Let the hair rest and so on until you get the right tone. Take the time and start with highlights until your hairdresser recommends that it’s wise to take the big step.

The importance of washing
There are two things to keep in mind: first, wash it less. A lot less. Bleached hair tends to be more on the dry side because the chemical treatment strips it of its natural oils. By washing it less, the hair regains that oiliness it needs to nourish itself. It doesn’t mean that you have to go weeks without washing, don’t do it every day. Two to three times a week is perfect. Also, we recommend that you change your shampoo to a special one for blondes or colored hair. A good option is the Anti-Line Break Honey Shampoo, which helps repair delicate and brittle hair (a consequence of discoloration). It is also crucial to do deep conditioning treatments once a week to restore elasticity, both with masks and oils such as coconut or almond.
The secret of violet
Blondes have a high degree of maintenance, so in addition to the products we have already mentioned, a select type of shampoo is needed to keep the color always intact and perfect. We are talking about violet shampoos. Yes, violet. But don’t be scared, you won’t be left with hair that color. What these toners do is balance the yellow to make it look more natural and pretty. It is designed especially for these tones, so you will not have a problem; you have to trust. Leave it on for a few minutes after your regular shampoo and rinse. Its everyday use will keep the color in better condition for longer.
Avoid hot tools
We all love the flat iron and the hairdryer, but the truth is that it hurts our hair deeply. It is best to avoid, but if not, invest in a good heat protection spray and apply it whenever you go to iron or use some other hot tool. Thus, we prevent it from drying out and breaking even more.
